Summary

'I adored it' JULIE HAWORTH

'Witty, well-observed and utterly charming' SOPHIE COUSENS

'Funny, tender and insightful' ERICKA WALLER

Two sisters, one absent father and a grand inheritance . . .

Maggie and Liz may be sisters (and yes, named after a pair of much more famous siblings), but that's about all they have in common. Maggie is a free spirit - travelling the world, flitting through life and relationships without ever really having to connect. Liz, meanwhile, is the lynchpin of Little Martin village society and determined to be the perfect wife, mother and homemaker - even if she does live in a new build.

When Liz and Maggie's beloved grandmother, Queen Vic, dies in a characteristically dramatic fashion, they are left to deal with the aftermath - inheriting the family Manor, as well as full responsibility for their profligate father, a notorious womaniser who causes trouble wherever he goes.

Maggie and Liz have been living separate lives for years - but now might finally be the time to put their differences behind them.

Made me glow with happiness 🧡

I was hooked from the start. The story follows the lives of two sisters and their emotional journeys dealing with the unexpected return of their errant father, trying to sell the beautiful family home, parenthood, love, trust and adulting! It is so well observed and witty, I felt like I’d visited every village, attended the school fete and been at the village meetings too! The ending is perfection, except it was so heart glowingly beautiful I want to start reading it all again. Loved it, read it! 🌟 (PS listen at x1.2 - much better!)
